Claudia Landwehr

Dr. Lanwehr studied political science in Bonn, Sheffield and Hamburg from 1997-2003. She earned her doctoral degree (Dr. phil.) from the University of Hamburg in 2007, where she was a junior research fellow from 2004-2007. Her doctoral thesis dealt with the formation of political preferences in deliberative institutions and included a case study of the German conflict over the importation of embryonic stem cells. In January - February 2007, she was an academic visitor at the Australian National University (RSSS). From 2007-2008, she was a lecturer at the Goethe-University Frankfurt. In 2008, Dr. Landwehr won a Schumpeter Fellowship from the VolkswagenStiftung to carry out research on priority setting in health care. Her main research interests are: theories of justice and democracy, bioethics and health politics.

While visiting the Program in Ethics and Health, Dr. Landwehr proposes to work on and discuss her project on decision-making procedures in the allocation of health care in OECD-countries. A particular focus will be on the influence of institutional parameters of decision-making bodies on the application of competing distributive principles such as efficiency and clinical need.
